Emancipated
With reference to a minor, one who is self-sufficient and has achieved independence from his or her parents.

Pennsylvania does not have standard, state-wide procedures for a minor seeking court approved emancipation. Each county's domestic relations office, children and youth services bureau, or Court of Common Pleas may offer specific county information.
